A huge thank you to The Lodge at Blue Ridge for their generous donation of distilled water! 💧

Distilled water plays an important role in caring for the animals who need us most. We use it in our veterinary clinic to help sterilize surgical instruments, in medical equipment that requires mineral-free water, and for other essential veterinary procedures that keep our patients safe and healthy.

Donations like these help us direct more of our resources toward lifesaving medical care for homeless animals.

Thank you, The Lodge at Blue Ridge, for supporting our mission and helping us provide the highest level of care to every animal that comes through our doors. We are so grateful for community partners like you! 🫶🏽❤️‍🩹
